A million pop singers tried to be moody like Lorde, so she got happy on them. “Solar Power,” her first new single since 2017’s Melodrama, flips the script as surely as summer overturns winter. It’s a soft-touch anthem for the season’s simple pleasures: Warm sun, warm sand, a boyfriend who will take your picture for the ’gram, and the impunity to turn down plans you weren’t excited about anyway. “So sorry, I can’t make it,” she ad-libs—friends, if Lorde ever says this to you, it is a damn lie. She’s at the beach.

无数流行歌手想变得像Lorde一样喜怒无常，所以Lorde对此眉开眼笑。《Solar Power》是Lorde在发行2017年专辑《Melodrama》后的首支回归单曲，无疑颠覆了她以往的事业轨迹，就像夏天翻转了冬天。这是一首献给夏季那些简单快乐的柔美赞歌：温暖的阳光，温暖的沙滩，给你拍照发到Instagram的男朋友，拒绝那些不喜欢的行程也无所谓的心情，“So sorry, I can’t make it,”这种话Lorde张口就来，姐妹们，如果Lorde对你说这种话，绝对毫无疑问是谎言，她正在海滩上撒欢呢。

And like a great beach hang, “Solar Power” is a place for high-powered talent to kick back: The bass and guitar come courtesy of Jack Antonoff; the drums are by esteemed session player Matt Chamberlain; the backing vocalists include Clairo and Phoebe Bridgers. More importantly, “Solar Power” is featherweight, full of air. Lorde’s got “no shirt, no shoes,” and no service, because she chucked her phone in the ocean. “I’m kind of like a prettier Jesus,” she quips, the onion-ring respecter nodding to another niche meme. Summer stretches out before her, limitless. “I see green, aquamarine,” she sings: the colors of the sea, of swimsuits, of mojitos and gemstones and envy. The sun is out; FOMO is back. Welcome to Lorde season.

就像一个很棒的海滩聚会，《Solar Power》为那些“高能量”才华横溢的人提供了一个歇脚处。歌曲Bass和吉他部分由Jack Antonoff演绎，鼓声部分则由受人好评的现职鼓手Matt Chamberlain演绎，伴唱歌手包括Clairo和Phoebe Bridgers。更重要的是，单曲《Solar Power》整首歌轻如羽翼，沁人心脾，Lorde身上 “no shirt, no shoes,”也收不到信号，因为她把手机丢到海里去了。“I’m kind of like a prettier Jesus,”她俏皮地说，这位“洋葱圈拥护者”向另一名“梗”致敬。夏日在她面前无限延伸，“I see green, aquamarine,”她唱道:海洋的颜色，泳衣的颜色，莫吉托鸡尾酒的颜色，宝石的颜色，还有嫉妒的颜色。太阳出来了，“社交狂”回来了，欢迎来到Lorde的季节。
